JU Vice Chancellor, Prof R D Sharma, who was chief guest on the occasion, expressed satisfaction for having collaborated with Radio Kashmir Jammu for the seminar and stressed upon the fact that nothing is possible without having a scientific reason and temperament behind it.
V K Sambyal, Station Director RKJ, threw light on the role played by All India Radio in inculcating the scientific spirit among the general masses in the past six decades. He also quoted references from Ramayana and Mahabharta to highlight the fact that the scientific spirit among the Indians is not only deep rooted but also age old.
All India Radio has an inherent objective of inculcating Scientific temper and promoting Scientific awareness amongst fellow citizens of the nation. Radio Kashmir Jammu organized this seminar to meet this novel objective as a public service broadcaster, especially at a time when the potential of science and technology has been well established in addressing a number of issues and aspects confronting the lives of the people at large.
